Out of curiosity, do you think it would be possible for someone to work in a valuations group, like big 4 for 15 years, then leave and just become a freelancer valuations analyst? Or would sticking with the company relieve the headache being a freelancer would cause? Seems like obtaining clients would be much harder. What are other reasons not to freelance besides getting clients? regulations?

Client acquisition, personal liability (potentially), etc. If you leave, you need to start and grow your own business aggressively IMO.
It's harder but very doable if you're good. Personally, I see sticking with the larger platform as long as possible as having a huge upside. When things go south, they march out an army of expensive lawyers to cover the firm's ass...if you're on your own, well, good luck.
You mean freelancer as in freelancer (working for anyone and everyone) or freelancer as in entrepreneur start your own firm?
working as freelancer has its benefits and risks one benefit, you have only your name be liable for your recommendations not any company another is you get to be your own boss
one risk though is that your name is at stake, misrecommendations may give you some bad there think about it
I'm not discouraging you though being a freelancer is rather fun especially if you love your job
@crusader, I think being a freelancer is rather self-employed found in the S quadrant its different to build your own system and be an entrepreneur operating on the B side, If you know what I mean
thanks guys, I was just curious. I want to work for a firm and develop good skills, but I want to eventually be my own boss. Im still in college, so I wouldnt even consider doing this ANY time soon. And yes, I was talking about freelance, like work for yourself, not open a firm.
